The cemetery of the Modlin fortress was established during the Napoleonic wars. The combatants of the Modlin fortress in 1813 were the first soldiers to be buried there. During the First World War, soldiers of the German and Russian armies who fell in combat were buried there. In 1920, the soldiers of the Polish-Bolshevik War, as well as those who died at the military hospital of Modlin, were also laid to rest at this cemetery. The defenders of the Modlin fortress of 1939, German soldiers from 1939 to 1944, as well as soldiers of other nationalities from various armies who died in Poland in the 19th and 20th centuries were also buried there. The cemetery was completely destroyed in 1945. In the years 1995-97, the site was partially reconstructed. The plots of the Polish soldiers of 1920, the mass graves of 1939 and the plots of the soldiers of the German army of 1939-44 were rebuilt. The military cemetery of the Modlin fortress is entered in the register of monuments.
Among those buried, only one surname seemed to be of French origin (Alfred PONGE). After thorough research, it appears that he was a 16-year-old Polish pupil who died during the Polish-Bolshevik War.
